Title: Spectrally stabilized broadband optical source
Inventor: TAVERNER DOMINO
IPC: G01J3/18
Filed: 2008-09-10
Abstract: Methods and apparatus enable compensation of source light wavelength fluctuations due to instability of a broadband source within an optical sensing system.  Tapping off two or more portions of the light output from the source at specific wavelength bands enables power based measurements of these portions. The measurements provide compensation ability by either use as feedback to control the source or for determination of the central wavelength so that adjustments can be applied to sensor response signals received at a receiver.

Title: Method for autoclave-free adhesive bonding of components for aircraft
Inventor: BISCHOFF OLAF
IPC: B64C3/26
Filed: 2007-02-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for autoclave-free adhesive bonding of components in order to form in particular, large-sized structural components for aircraft. Since the curing of the least one adhesive film in order to connect the stringers takes place free of autoclaves in a vacuum bag at a relatively low partial vacuum between 70 kPa and 100 kPa, the previously necessary complex structure by masking sharp edges and/or arranging pressure elements on order to increase the local contact pressure in specific regions of the components is dispensed with.

Title: Apparatus and methods to reduce castouts in a multi-level cache hierarchy
Inventor: SARTORIUS THOMAS ANDREW
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: Techniques and methods are used to reduce allocations to a higher level cache of cache lines displaced from a lower level cache. When it is determined that displaced lines have already been allocated in a higher level, the allocations of the displaced cache lines are prevented in the next level cache, thus, reducing castouts. To such ends, a line is selected to be displaced in a lower level cache. Information associated with the selected line is identified which indicates that the selected line is present in a higher level cache. An allocation of the selected line in the higher level cache is prevented based on the identified information. Preventing an allocation of the selected line saves power that would be associated with the allocation.
